I ranked QBs entering the 2020 season
My boss went home at 1:30 but we apparently gotta stay here and browse the interwebz until 4:30 so I have been creating a ranking of NFL QBs and I'm sure I'll be called an idiot and that my rankings are ****ing stupid but whatever LMAO
I didn't bother with rookies and/or guys that the jury is still out on (: Burrow, Murray, Haskins, Darnold, Jones, Tua, Minshew, Lock, Stidham) 1. Mahomes 2. Wilson 3. Jackson 4. Brees 5. Rodgers 6. Watson 7. Brady 8. Wentz 9. Prescott 10. Ryan 11. Roethlisberger 12. Cousins 13. Stafford 14. Rivers 15. Garoppolo 16. Goff 17. Tannehill 18. Carr 19. Mayfield 20. Allen 21. Bridgewater 22. Trubisky 23. Taylor I feel like Bridgewater could be anywhere from 12 - 21 but given the injury and the lack of playing time I threw him ahead of Trubisky/Taylor and Stidham. What say you all? Hope you all have a good weekend |
Stidham gets ranked but the jury is still out on Kyler Murray and Sam Darnold?

Daniel Jones? Darnold? Josh Allen? Rivers?

This forum tends to overrate Watson. The dude has no business being above Ryan, pre-shoulder injury Rapeburger, or even Dak.
If we’re talking Top 10 QB’s, there’s just of good of an argument to place him in the 10 spot as there is putting him at 11. Outside of that, solid list. |
I'd take Brees and Rodgers over Jackson.
Stafford over Cousins. Bridgewater over Mayfield. Maybe over Carr. |
I’ll make this easier:
1. Patrick Mahomes Tied for a distant 2. Every other QB who had ever played the game, because they all ****ing suck!!!!! |

i would take brees, ryan, stafford, rodgers over Jackson for sure
|
Still weird to me to not rank Darnold when he's literally started more games than Lamar Jackson. And Lamar only has 6 more starts than Murray. Seems pretty arbitrary!

My top 10+1
1)Mahomes 2)Wilson (Very underrated in a boring system) 3)Rodgers (May be too high at this point. Leadership concerns and injury concerns obviously) 4)Ryan (Really underrated IMO) 5)Brees (Arm is protected by play designs) 6)Roethlisberger (injury concerns. He may be too high) 7)Watson (Too many killer bad plays to be higher IMO) 8)Stafford (Better version of Cousins. I would have loved to see him with a good offensive coaching staff during his career) 9)Dak (Maybe too low but I don't think he's elite) 10)Wentz (Would be higher if wasn't made of glass) 11)Jackson (lack of ability to throw to his WR's is holding him down which leads to my primary concern with him all along: Accuracy) Notables left off list: Brady-Arm is shot and he's in a horrible system for a weak arm. Has amazing talent around him though. Arians needs to protect him like Sean Payton protects Brees. Rivers-Never an elite QB IMO. Got a ton of stats in garbage time. Older, new system with worse weapons. Has a better line though so we'll see. |

I just think there’s a wide gap between Top 5 and a Top 10 QB. I think one can make an argument Watson is on the outside part of the Top 10, but I think there’s a sizable space between him and Top 5 QB’s. |
Matt Moore is #2 best QB in the league
|
I would take most of the guys you didn’t list over Trubisky and Tyrod Taylor. Also, why is everyone so high on Carson Wentz? He’s pretty good when he’s healthy which is.....not often or certainly not often in the biggest games for his team. I like the old saying “the best ability is availability”. Give me most on that list over Wentz except for the true garbage quarterbacks.

Brady at 7 is hilarious. He might put up top 15 numbers wirh all the weapons he has but he's a shell of himself. They would have been better off to get Cam Newton. But if Brady and Gronk are a package deal I guess. Bucs are a QB away from being one 2nd or 3rd best team in NFC. And Brady aint it.

Passing Yards: 3,852 (13th) YPA: 7.8 (12th) AYPA: 7.7 (11th) YPG: 256.8 (11th) Rating: 98.0 (11th) TD% 5.3 (9th) INT% 2.4 (20th) Touchdowns: 26 (10th) Watson is Top 5 in completion percentage (coming in at 5th) but he was also ranked #1 in sacks for the second straight year, coming in with 55 this year. He took 62 in 2018. This is where I feel the Smith comparison shines the brightest. The Texans invested heavily to improve their OL after 2018 and it didn't end up mattering all that much. Houston's (@ BattleRedBlog) own fans analyzed his sacks from 2018 and found that around 35% of them were due to Watson holding onto the ball too long. I believe Watson, like Smith, makes his line look far worse than it actually is and I feel that is a major concern to his game. Honestly, the criticism this forum is so quick to tag onto Lamar Jackson as an argument for why Lamar isn't elite should be tagged to Watson. I also am curious to see how Watson adapts to losing Hopkins this year. If I had to rank my Top 10, I'd go.. 1. Mahomes 2. Wilson (There is a big gap here) 3. Rodgers 4. Lamar (hard to place him at the moment) 5. Brees 6. Ryan 7. Dak 8. Stafford 9. Rapesburger 10. Watson 11. Wentz (Wentz would be #10 for me if it weren't for his durability concerns). |

Passing Yards: 5,129 (1st - over Mahomes) YPA: 7.6 (13th) AYPA: 7.5 (14th) YPG: 320.6 (1st) Rating: 96.5 (15th) QBR: 71.0 (3rd) TD% 5.0 (17th) Touchdowns: 34 (5th) Sacks 24 (24th) Compared to Watson's 2018.. Passing Yards: 4,165 (15th) YPA: 8.2 (7th) AYPA: 8.8 (8th) YPG: 260.3 (18th) Rating 103.1 (6th) QBR: 60.7 (15th) TD%: 5.1 (15th) Touchdowns: 26 (12th) Sacks 62 (1st) I realize Big Rape's volume helps here, but the dude was still putting up prolific numbers and Watson has not come close to Big Ben's 2018 those total numbers or QBR in his career. At the end of the day I detest Ben the person, but I'm not ready to say he's done with the numbers he continued to put up through 2018. His duel against Patrick in 2018 is a particularly fun re-watch as well. |

Comparing solely their 2018 seasons, Watson had a higher completion percentage, YPA, and TD % while maintaining a significantly lower INT%. He's a more productive passer and it's not even a debate who's more dangerous with their legs. |

The OP list seems good overall, but I'd lower Jackson down to around 6, and I think Brady should be down around 15 at most, and maybe as low as 25. Brady clearly had a fork in him last year and this year will be worse. I'd also move Wentz down a few spots. I'd move Stafford up several spot, just above Ryan.

If there is one thing we know, QB Rating doesnt always tell the story. It CAN but if your QB is a gutless piece of shit like Carr or Alex Smith its just an inflated stat for conservative QBs.

You have Mahomes ranked too low. List is garbage.

Okay, here's my ranking of how the quarterbacks will perform in 2020. It's not looking at the long term, but rather this year in a vacuum. My out of the box predictions are that Daniel Jones will develop quickly, and Tyrod Taylor and Phillip Rivers will do better than expected.
On the other end of the scale, I think Brady will continue his collapse, Brees will continue slipping out of the top tier, and Goff's decline will continue. KC Mahomes GB Rodgers Bal L. Jackson Sea Wilson NO Brees Hou D. Watson Det Stafford Ari Murray Ind Rivers Dal Prescott Atl Ryan NYG D. Jones Min Cousins LAC T. Taylor SF Garoppolo Phi Wentz Jac Minshew Car Bridgewater NYJ Darnold Den Lock LAR Goff Ten Tannehill Cin Burrow Buf J. Allen Oak Carr Pit Roethlisberger Cle Mayfield TB Brady Mia Tagovailoa NE Stidham Chi Trubisky Was Haskins |

I had Murray as the highest rated QB after Mahomes in the last 5 drafts. Agree. Brees is a HOF player but no longer a top ten QB..the ball flutters when he throws it over 20 yards now. |
You missed a 2 in front of the 3 for Jackson. I'd rather have minshew.

I have no idea what's happening with the Steelers. I assumed that Roethlisberger is coming back, but I also have a hunch that he won't last the season as the elbow flares up. They may end up being toward the very bottom, which they richly deserve. |
Can't take this seriously at all with having Dak ranked above Ryan. NM saw that wrong, thought you had Dak a full tier above Ryan instead of 1 spot. Dak isn't even 1 spot better but can at least call this a good list now. I'd still put Rodgers above Jackson though.
